Lance Anoa'i was with WWE. He (and others) no longer are.

Add Kylie Rae, Zayda Steel, Zara Zakher, and Jamar Hampton to that list.

Kylie had so much potential in aew. She's been at TNA, AEW, WWE Evolve. I don't know what's the problem with Kylie, she seems so nice

Hell I feel like the pairing with Tyson and Tyreik was solid. I thought those 2 are pretty decent and a guy like Wes could help elevate the 2. Sadly they just disappeared. I wonder if one of them was injured or something.

And I tend to not like Heels that have high-energy, exciting offense. Doing things that make fans excited while wanting those very fans to boo you feels counter intuitive.

Wes was okay at toning that down but he was still just always the smallest guy usually, always makes a weird dynamic bc cheering for the big guy to dominate the small guy always feels wrong no matter how much the small guy is an asshole lol it's insanely hard to ever make the dynamic not be weird, usually it's just tolerable like HBK in the 90s or something and that's one of the better examples

I always cheer for people to beat up Ricochet

That is actually a good example, I wonder if it's bc even when he was a face for so long, Ricochet never had anything close to the emotional connection Wes had due to the outside things like Wentz being fired and then his injury

 

[Professor Booty]

Oh for sure I’m just saying he’s a little dude I like to route against. Wes is a much better baby than Rico was.

She quit AEW because she had mental health problems. Now she's pregnant.

Man didn't know that. great news hearing this.

 

[Dom's cellmate]

For an Anoa’i to not make it in WWE, you must really suck

Manu knows all about that.

 

[R-Troop]

Add Ridge Holland to the list. His contract is expiring and won't be renewed.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Ridge Holland, come on up to Toronto!

 

[R-Troop]

Honestly the Ridge one is kinda shit.

Dude just had surgery and is out a number of months. His contract ends November 14th and he won't be cleared. WWE is paying for the rehab but his income is gone at that point.

 

[O-Blaze]

Yeah. That's kinda fucked.

 

[Chris]

I can already see the people who think they're the smartest in the room saying people are hypocrites bc they've complained about injury time being added to others in the past and now Ridge isn't getting time added.

Obviously the normal people understand the issue isn't adding or taking away injury time, whether you want that or not varies by person and situation. The issue is that wrestling contracts are stuffed with "team options" and no "player/team options." Once side can literally choose to end the contract early and the other can't. The company can decide that you didn't provide them with the service they wanted because you were hurt so you have to work for them longer, but Ridge can't decide that WWE didn't platform him as long as his contract said they would bc he was hurt. It's very one sided.

I would probably just never add injury time personally, picking and choose when to just feels wrong, like just forcing people to work at a lower rate if you want but if you don't want them, cutting them completely while still hurt.

Fucking sucks. But that's wwe for you if you ain't drawing money, your gone

 

[O-Blaze]

That's a pass from me.
